the venue

In the most picturesque of settings Coolbawn Quay is a private destination venue for truly romantic couples to share and celebrate their love. The venue is available to book throughout the year with the exception of a short number of days over Christmas.

Surrounded by nature with spectacular backdrops created by the seasonal changes in colour and tone, it is a uniquely special place.

Imagine.....waterside vows with drinks on the deck, followed by dinner and dancing in the most magical Georgian style Pavilion with twilight views over the lake..... Simply perfect.

the village

Part of the magic of hosting your wedding at Coolbawn Quay(CBQ) is having the entire village filled with family and friends staying in beautiful rooms, suites and lodges scattered along meandering streets and leafy lanes. CBQ can become your very own private and exclusive village on your Special Day making the occasion intimately personal and unique.

All weddings have an accommodation requirement with the number of rooms dependent on the time of year and venue choice

We offer very attractive accommodation rates as part of our Wedding Packages.

The old stone harbour and deck, with moorings, are exclusive for your drinks reception, photographic memories and arrival by boat, if desired.

Many Wedding Parties stay with us for two nights, enjoying a barbecue at the Clubhouse as a pre or post wedding event. There is something for everyone to enjoy: from blissful therapies; local forest walks; to a spot of fishing. We offer advice in arranging activities such as a cruise, water adventure sports or a round of golf.
